    Verdict

    DOGON has been very highly tried since arriving from France. Though pulled up twice at Cheltenham last season, he was second at Wincanton in between and gives the impression this step up in trip will suit. The Wolf’s second to Dashel Drasher at Newbury in March was a very solid effort so he can’t be ignored, though might have preferred easier ground. It’s difficult to make a case for either Bullsempire or Champagne Vintage.
